Teaming with HYBE, the company that produces BTS, Tomorrow X Together (TXT) and Enhypen, the new series will launch on January 14 with six original webcomics and web novels . The three original webcomics in collaboration with HYBE artists will be available on the Webtoon platform, with three web novel versions available on Wattpad.

The first HYBE original story, 7Fates: CHAKHO with BTS, follows seven young men bound by fate.
